Dr.. Caswell C. Turner, prominent physician, died at his home on Sunday, February 25, thus ending the career of one of Kentucky’s most distinguished consultant specialists. The loss of Dr. Turner comes as a heavy blow to the already over-taxed medical staff surrounding the Samson Hospital Community, now depleted by the service of several young and active practitioners. For us to attempt to comment and eulogize the life of a man so intimately and favorably known would tax our editorial ability; however, during his practice, Dr. Turner found time to take a prominent part in many civic, religious and educational facilities. Funeral services were conducted at the local First Christian Church, of which he was a member, and burial was in the Gamaliel Cemetery.

What’s The War Going To Do to the Monday morning wash day in the old homestead? The Armed Forces are going to get most of the $46,000,000 worth of commercial laundry machinery that will be produced this year – and when you consider that they are going to buy 46 million pairs of socks in the next six months, you can see that they need the equipment. There won’t be any new washing machines this year but there will be repairs for the old machines. And there will always be a washboard although it may not be of metal. Clothes lines will still to be had, but pulleys will be of wood. Ironing boards are in stock but the supply of new electric irons is diminishing. The old fashioned flat irons may be coming back. (3)
